How to Let Go of Workgroup Manager in OS X 10.7 Lion Server


In a Support document updated June 07, 2012, Apple outlines for Lion Server customers that Workgroup Manager is “not included.” The terse headline of the KB article tells half the story, as Apple soon reveals what’s really going on.

Knowledge base article HT5308 begins with Apple stating that “Workgroup Manager is not included with Lion Server.”

The Cupertino, California-based computer vendor elaborates, saying, “If you used Workgroup Manager in a previous release of Mac OS X Server, the installer removes Workgroup Manager when you upgrade.”

The primary solution is not to reinstall Workgroup Manager, but to use Profile Manager instead.

“To administer iOS and OS X Lion systems, use Profile Manager included with Lion Server,” reads the documentation.

Server admins will be glad to know that “Profile Manager delivers configuration profiles and Mobile Device Management (MDM) for Macs running OS X Lion and iOS devices such as iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.”

The application further allows administrators to configure and manage user accounts for stuff like “mail, calendars, contacts, and chat, enforcement of restrictions, PIN and password policies, configuration of system settings,” and more.

As far as the legacy Server Admin Tools are concerned, admins can use those too on a Lion computer, says the Mac maker: “Legacy Server Admin Tools can be installed in Lion.”

The freely-downloadable Server Admin Tools is a big package which contains advanced administration tools for Lion Server. Users can install them on the server or on another Mac and use them for remote administration.

The package includes Server Admin, System Image Utlity, Xgrid Admin, Podcast Composer, Server Monitor and, last but not least, the much-needed  Workgroup Manager.

Server Admin Tools 10.7.4
includes the newest releases of Podcast Composer, Server Admin, Server Monitor, System Image Utility, Workgroup Manager, and Xgrid Admin.
